General euphemism for unspeakable yet socially acceptable acts of sodomy/mutual masturabation/heavy petting among consenting adults, usually of the same sex. Also British Slang for generally dodgy behaviour or misguided acts of affection. Never an insult, always with a raised eyebrow. Could also be a severe form of social embarrassment.
Stuart got promoted after some Jiminy Fiminy with Kevin.
Jiminy Fiminy is not Cricket.

Noun: A notorious and persistant moaner. An incurable pessimist. A Mannington is not bad company per se, but can be a pain if stuck with on a slow train or in a lift (suicidal tendencies are highly contagious!).
Stu: Top of the morning!
Ann: Hiya!
Mannington: Awww, for fuck's sake!
"I tried to persuade Luke to go to the pub with us, but he did a Mannington and just ranted about his workload."
"Come on, cheer up mate! Don't be a Mannington."

A sporting underdog who is just about to make you, the betting underdog, a tidy sum of money. Hopefully.
Based on the short story of the same name by Charles Bukowski.
